suLKY-HARRow.

SPECIFICATIQN forming part Of Letters `Patenti N0. 274,311, dated March 20, 1883.

Application tiled April 11, 1882. (No model.)

' To all lwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EUGENE E. GILLETT, ot Western Union, in the county of Racine, and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSulky- Harrows g and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to sulky-harrows 5 and it consists in certain detailsof construction, to be fullydescribed hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical section through my improved barrow, taken on `line 90:10,]iig. 2. Fig.,2 is a front elevation,

andFig. 3 is a detail.

A is the axle, and B are holsters secured at right angles to it on its under side. the holsters are connected at their rear ends by the axle A, they are connected in front by a cross-bar., B', and this bar supports the body of tongue D. l

To the under side of holsters B, and parallel `with them, I secure bars C, from which I suspend the bearin gs b b b of the journals ot' beams E E E2, and from these beams I suspend the teeth F. Tile beam E carries one hinge-strap, m, that projects up from its rear side, and another, m', that projects forwardfrom its under side. Beam E carries a like hinge-strap, m2, that projects downward from its front side, and another, m3, that projects forward fromits under side, and the beam E2 only carries one hingestrap, m4, which, projecting downward `from its front, is jointed to a link, g, that counects it with strap m3, while alink, g', connects hinge-straps 'm' and m2. The strap m is connected by a bent link, with the operating While lever H, and lever El is pivoted between a bar, h, and the tongue D, just in front of a standard, l, on top of which is a pin, kt, that engages with the pert'orations in a strap, 7c, that is hinged to the upper end of lever H. This strap k extends back to within easy reach of the drivers seat, and by drawing upon it the driver is enabled to revolve the rear beam, E, and through it and the links gg' and hingestraps revolve all the tooth-beams at once, and thus carry the teeth Ft'rom a vertical position to any inclination backward between a vertical and a horizontal, and then, by slipping the pin k into one of the pert'orations in strap k, secure the beams in the desired position. The shanks of the teeth F are projected through the beams, and the coiled portion is designed to rest up in a groove, M, in casting M, whereby it is steadied or supported laterally.

I am aware that I am not the first to have provided sulky-harrows with revolving toothbeams, and therefore I do not claim such, broadly; but t i The beams E E' E?, connected by hingestraps `and links m', g', m2, m3, g, and m.4,.as de scribed, in combination with strap m, link i, lever H, strap k, and standard carrying a pin, k, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, on this 21st day of March, 1882,' `in the presence of two witnesses.
